EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for Pisanella, a character from the 1913 drama "La Pisanelle (The perfumed death)". Created by the talented Leon Nikolajewitsch Bakst and brought to life by Leon Nikojajevitsch Rosenberg, this watercolour on board masterpiece is a true testament to their artistic prowess. The vibrant colors of graphite, brush and watercolor, silver and gold paint, pen and black ink on paper mounted on board come together harmoniously to create a visually stunning ensemble. The attention to detail in every brushstroke is evident as intricate patterns adorn the textile worn by the male dancer depicted in the drawing. With its exotic flair and theatrical charm, this costume design transports us into an enchanting world of stage performances. The turban adorning the servant's head adds an element of Eastern mystique while capturing our imagination with its rich symbolism. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum at Smithsonian Institution in New York City, we can't help but be captivated by its beauty. It serves as a reminder of Bakst's contribution to early 20th-century art and his collaboration with renowned figures such as Ida Rubinstein and Sergei Diaghilev. Through this print courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are granted a glimpse into history where artistry meets performance in perfect harmony.
